Dishwasher mayhem

[Promo-Man]

If the lip of your counter top is thick enough to hide it you might want to put in some furring strips to raise your counter top so that your dishwasher will clear the counter top. I would still try to fill the gap in the floor height if possible.

Of course leveling the floor would be ideal, but simply not feasible at this point. And the counter edge is bullnose, so it does't exten bellow the level of the counter. Now, it may be that the new counter sits a little and we can get away with it, but at this point it's a crap shoot and the safest thing for me to do to guarantee an installed diswhasher is to get it hosed up and into place before the counters go in. Yes, the best thing to do would be start from scratch to be sure it can be removed in the future, but time and budget concerns at paramount at this point.

GD, after the dishwasher is installed, will you have access to its water valve, so you could isolate it, should a hose burst or leak (without removing the counter)?

We maybe overthinking this, I bet the dishwasher will fit. Did you ever get a chance to take a measurement of the proposed opening?
